Food truck mania has exploded in the last couple of months with Mexicue, Korilla, La Cense, Schnitzel Truck, etc. grabbing the spotlight. I still recall a tasty bratwurst from the Hallo Berlin cart a few years ago.

These days I work down by FiDi and there are a couple of decent, no more than that, Halal chicken & lamb carts. They do ok in a pinch.

I do have a Baoguette a couple of blocks west of my building, so THAT'S a lucky break.

the best chicken and rice stand on Manhattan. They're open until like 4:30 and its 6 bucks for a huge plate of food, always a great late night move haha Its on 53rd and 6th on the west side of the street across the street from the Hilton. (I recommend chicken- lamb- rice platter)
